I have 2 registered at £320 and £370, but the cheaper one was very poorly described with a horrible picture, you could hardly make out what it was. Unfortunately for me, it was clearly stated it was a SMC 18mm, so no lucky find... I never get lucky...

This is a very good lens, with a great range, even on crop sensor, on FF it'd be a killer.
Compared to the Sigma 17-70mm, it holds up very well. Although the sigma might get ahead in sharpness, particularly at 24mm, the tammy has proven more consistent in focus. Plus it is FF and has a great range.

My lens comes in orignal case and box (with papers), has the original hood and front cap, I think the back cap is not original.

Here some photos of the gear:

This whole range of cameras only really works for me if they follow the Leica model.
The M9 looks like a Leica.
All these current one, except maybe for the Pen, look like compacts but they aren't.

Maybe a digital LX or MX. Because they look like the LX, not because they are compact.
Whats the advantage of having a small body, if you still have to spend space and weight on lenses?

It neat and cool, but doesn't really deliver what people are claiming.

On the other hand it can also satisfy the small minority which likes going out with on prime lens in a small package, a la Ricoh.

If it was the special edition of the LX with the matching 50mm F1.2 in silver, than it'd be worth quite a lot.
Details of the lenses and pics really necessary and john says.

Nah!
Everyone know that rocket launchers are dark coloured...
Unless they sneakly painted them... Take them down!

Aside from having a slightly larger DOF I think its pretty good.
